An EXPLANATION.

WASHINGTON, June 16.-The following
statement with regard to the president
; action concerning the proposed return OF
the battle flags was made at the white
house tonight to representative of the
Associated Press:
When the question was proposed to the
president by the adjutant general, an i'm
portant feature suggested was the return to
the loyal states of the flags which had been
captured by the Confederates and retakep
by our army at the time of the collapse OF
the rebellion. They, with such Confeder=
ate flags as had been captured from the
enemy by our troops, had, it was repre-
sented, for long time lain uncared for and
neglected, packed away in boxes in the
| cellar of the war department and had been
| removed to the attic as better place for
their safe keeping.
The disposition of the flags, which seem
ed to be answering no good purpose where
they were, was the main point, and the
consideration was presented to the presi
dent that some flags had been returned to
loyal states upon their request in individ.
ual cases, and the rest, if desired, might as
well all be returned together The return
OF the Confederate flags, which were with
the others In the department, was suggest
ed but there was not the slightest thought
OF interfering in any way with
aoy captured flags now held by any
state. The fact apparently received with
favor by the country that later in more
case northern troops visiting their late
antagonists at the south had returned them
flags which had been captured in battle
from those whose hospitalties they were re-
ceiving. The further fact that northern
troops who within Short time had been
visiting southern battle fields had spoken in
the warmest terms of the kind and hospita-
BILE treatment they had received from form
er Confederate soldiers. and the fact. too,
that soldiers from the north and south were
just gathering at Washington to meet in |
friendly competition at the national drill, |
seemed to indicate that if the Union flags |
were returned to the loyal states which had
lost them in battle, it would not be incon-
slstent with the fraternal sentiment which |
seemed to be prevalent to offer at the same
time to the governors of the states formerly
In rebellion return of the flags which we
had taken from their soldiers.
The right of the department to make
these returns being questioned by the presi-
dent, such right was distinctly asserted and
precedents alleged, and thereupon his oral
assent was given to the proposed action.
The matter was dismissed from his mind
until comment thereon within the last day
or so brought it again to his attention, when
upon personally examining the law and
the subject more carefully he
satisfied himself that no disposition of these
flags could be made without congressional
action; whereupon he directed a suspension
IF operations by the letter made public
his evening.

ordered ambulances belonging to police tc
be stationed at various points along the
jubilee procession Tuesday. The Order OF

secure the services of companies of volun-

who formerly served in the army hospital

On resumption of debate on the crimes
bill, Dillon moved to adjourn the order to-
call the attention of the house to the
Bodyke evictions. The government, he
said, refused to appoint committee to in
quire into the matter; he was. therefore, |
bound to demand an open discussion |
in parliament The eviction of |
thirty-fve families disclosed fea- |
lures of the greatest harshness |
Concensus reports press correspondents |
and other witnesses of evictions against |
police. Police acted brutality, making |
wanton attacks upon women and children. |
Seeing the public interest in the matter the |
government ought to grant committee of |
inquiry, the same as after the Belfast riots. |
Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, said |
there is no justice III comparing events at
Bodyke with events in Belfast He asked |
why Dillon raised the question at the
present time when members knew the |
house must report the crimes bill Friday.
Precious hours are being wasted, he said, |
that had better be devoted to the crimes
bill.
